Zelda Timeline

Well, yes, because the Master Sword is the one that destroys evil.

By linking and playing both Ages and Seasons, Link discovers that the Twinrova's plans were to cause despair in both Holodrum and Labrynna as part of a ritual for reviving Ganon. The next step required Princess Zelda as a sacrifice, but Link saved her, causing the ritual to bring back Ganon as a mindless beast instead of his former self. Link then defeats this form and Ganon remains dead.

And Lord Rock, where does it absolutely state that Ganondorf died at the end of Wind Waker? Turning to stone certainly seems more like being sealed than like being killed. The Master Sword's express purpose is to seal Ganon's power, after all.

Its to REPEL Ganon. And he said The Wind Blows as a reference to the wind of death that blowed in Gerudo Valley he mentioned before the fight... And kills. And getting a sword i the head, turning to stone, drowned in the sea, leaved in a Castle...
He is dead🙂

Death is merely a temporary problem for him.

I reckon if he is ever to PERMANENTLY go down, the Triforce of Power is going to have to go boom.

Which actually sounds like a good ending for the actual final Zelda game to me Ush. IF they made that happen, Ganondorf is actually killed, and the Triforce itself is destroyed thus making Link a normal human.

Well, Link's one is Courage. But it could all go boom at once of course.

Death IS a big problem. If i plot to revvie him would accure, like in the Oracle games, a new Link would rise to stop the reviving. If he was revived, we would know😉 But he can break seals on his on after some time

He'll never go down... Nintendo make too much money from him. 😛

Surely there would be other things they could use the Hero of Time for then to fight the same bad guy over and over again?

Or other Heroes... like the Hero of Winds or the Hero of Realms (as TP Link has come to be called by the fandom).

I would like another game with Majora as the main villain, though. And Vaati has his own series now, as well as a strangely large fanbase.

EDIT: Well, this is is interesting. Recently Nintendo Dream interviewed Eiji Aonuma. Here's a tidbit:

"About when is the Twilight Princess timeline set?

Aonuma: In a world some hundred years after 'Ocarina of Time.'

"And 'Wind Waker"?

Aonuma: 'Wind Waker' is parallel. In 'Ocarina of Time,' Link jumps to
a world seven years ahead, defeats Ganon, and returns to the time of
his childhood, right? 'Twilight Princess' is a world a hundred some
years after that pacified childhood time.

Of course, since the interview was in Japanese, people frantically tried to get a second opinion on the translation. Here's another, more complete version:

"It's a parallel (refering to Wind Waker). After Link defeats Ganon in the future of OoT, he's returned to the time he was a child. TP is the world several hundred years after the time where Link was a child and peace had returned. But in the last scene of OoT, Link, as a child again, goes to meet Princess Zelda. As a result of this discussion, the three related people, including Ganon, are dragged in a different direction to make this story. So in the middle of this one, we can have the scene of Ganon being executed. Therefore, that scene is a story several years after OoT. And so, the executed Ganon is sent to another world, and this time that power will be obtained by..."

I love it when I'm right. Then again, what I thought was one of the most sensible explanations.

Now if only he wouldn't keep contradicting himself every time he makes a new interview we'd be sorted...

And this is why I've never really tried to work out the Zelda timeline. Just way too many contradictions and stuff.

Ain't that the truth... I'm sure he'll change his mind again when the next Zelda comes out.

Why do they even try to put everything into a timeline? Just say almost all games are in their own reality.

Two reasons

A. Because they say there is one. So working it out is like why mountaineers climb mountains. The concept for that holds even if they are in fact lying

b. Because Zelda is not FF. Despite the wide disparity of the games, they DO continuously point towards some kind of logic in continuity.

That being the case, it's an interesting puzzle to try and figure out. For some, at least.

It's fun to pick at with each new entry though, the Game Boy trilogy is easy to place, the other earlier entries to gaming are the issue with placement, such as LTTP, and LoZ, because they didn't provide a huge amount of inside depth about 'former Heroes Of Time' and the such.

I still find the most heinous thing is the apparent contunuity reversal of ALTTP's -place in the timeline. That really messed things.

Well, the title in itself is quite a pun, and people freaking out over Link's Uncle's words before he passed out.

I just noticed someone said WW was in the adult timeline. Although I too believe this, there is a problem...

With the Tingle turner, you can read a text at one place, which describes Tingle in MM, helping the Hero of Time by drawing maps. Now if this was in the adult timeline, Termina should have been destroyed by this time, and they would never have met.....

im reviving this thread cause no one has answered or stated and agreed upon what the timeline that makes the most sense is.

now here are some tidbits i found in the series and you tell me if i'm wrong or what u think.

first off at the end of WW the king uses the triforce and gets his wish so how would the triforce go back to ganon after that? shouldn't it go back to the sacred realm or really shouldn't the king then get the whole triforce if his heart was pure.

second in LoZ you end up using the magic sword not the master sword, i believe the last time you see the master sword is ALTTP because you upgrade it makeing it gold tempered and it isn't golden in any other games so wouldn't make sense that's the last time you see it in the series?

Try reading the thread. You just might find the answers.
